“Good morning, Ellie.” Jason said as he smiled at me. He sat down in the seat next to me. I frowned at him. “What happened? Are you not talking to me either? I am Jason, just so you know.” He said when I didn’t reply. Yesterday, after I stormed off to my room, Xander and Mason came after me but I locked my door. They tried to make me leave my room for about two hours before they left. I was upset and angry. I didn’t want to talk to them. Those idiots even tried to bribe me with Pizza!In the morning, I called Damien and asked him to pick me up for school. I usually went to school with Xander but after what happened the day before, I didn’t want to go anywhere near him. I saw the hurt on Xander’s face when he saw me get in Damien’s car. But I just ignored it.I knew that I was being a little too harsh on my bestfriend but I couldn’t just let them do whatever they wanted. Xander and Mason needed to know that my freedom is important.“I know who you are, Jace. It’s just tha
“So, your parents are finally back home?” Jason asked in a cautious voice.My mood wasn't the best today. My mom and dad came back home yesterday and we only had one peaceful meal before they told me that they were leaving again for work. I didn't know why that bothered me but my parents not being around anymore was starting to make me angry.When I was a kid, my parents did everything in their power to keep their business related trips to a minimum. And even when they had to go, they used to take me with them. But ever since I entered highschool, it felt as if they were trying to stay as far away from me as possible.“Only for a couple of days.” I answered Jason's question. “What? I thought they only came back after weeks of staying away!” Kara gasped. I huffed. “Ellie! Don't feel bad about it. You parents are only going because it must have been necessary.” Damien said. “Oh no! They are going because they can't bear to be around me. They hate me!” I said as I covered
“Where is Xander?” I questioned as I looked at everyone at our table.It was our lunch break and Xander was nowhere to be seen. I haven’t seen that doofus since yesterday. This morning, he just texted me to tell me that he had asked the twins to pick me up for school.“Since you and him are back to normal, Xander is with that girl he said that he has a crush on now.” Liam told me.Well, that was… unexpected...“Liam, who was that girl?” I asked him as I narrowed my eyes at Liam. Liam looked at the others on the table for help. “That blonde girl. I don’t know her name.” Liam answered hesitatingly when no one helped him.“First, she is not a blonde. She has light brown hair. And second, why the hell are you lying to me? Why is he avoiding me?” I said, getting angry. Everyone was silent for a minute. “Ellie, how would we know where Xander is?” Mason asked as he tried to act nonchalant. “If none of you told me where that doofus is, you all will feel my wrath!” I warned
“Ellie, where are we going?” Xander asked for the hundredth time as he pouted. “Somewhere I can kill you and dump your body!” I answered in a mock serious tone. Xander gasped. “But you love me and I love you!” He said. I ignored him. After about five minutes of silence, he spoke up again. “Are we eloping?” He asked with a cheeky smile. I rolled my eyes at him.I had somehow managed to get him out of the school and to his car without anyone spotting us. But the big problem now was deciding where would be a safe place to take him till he becomes a little sober.I sighed as I parked the car near the park. I have been driving around in Xander’s car, trying to figure out where I could take him while Xander asked me stupid questions and played with my hair. It was already the time for the school to get over. We had to head home. Our parents will be expecting us back soon.My phone suddenly pinged with a new message. I open my phone to see a message from Damien.DashingDamien:
“Why is it all so loud?” Xander groaned as he walked into the living room. I chuckled as he covered his face. “Xan-Xan!” Aria, Damien’s little sister yelled before she ran off to Xander and wrapped her tiny arms around Xander’s legs. Xander looked at me and Damien for help. I giggled at the excited face of the little angel. “Aria, do you want hot chocolate?” Damien asked his little sister. She turned to him with a super happy face like he just told her that unicorns are real.Yikes! Unicorns make a really bad image in my head… I got up and handed Xander the pills for his head and water. He gave me a grateful smile as he swallowed the pills.“Are you okay now or do you still wanna elope with me?” I questioned when Damien and Aria walked to the kitchen for the hot chocolate. Xander smirked at me as he wrapped an arm around my waist and pulled me closer to him. I giggled as I placed my hands on his chest.“If you are offering that, then who the hell am I to reject that
I have been hiding. I came to school with the lovely couple Liam and Kara. I went to all my classes before time, I hid my face with a hoodie and I didn’t even go to my locker because I already took all my books from there in the morning. I know that lifting all the books and notebooks the whole day is tiring but I just wanted to hide. Hide from him. I know that I am being crazy but I can’t face him. Not now. Not ever. I think I should just shift to Timbuktu, get plastic surgery, change my name to something like I-am-not-Eleanor-Aliana-Ambrosia-and-I-don’t-even-know-who-that-chick-is. Sheesh! That’s a little too long…. Yesterday, after I said what I said and Xander stopped the car, we made out. Like full on make out session kind of made out before we got home. I don’t even know how it started or who started it. I just know that it happened.We didn’t even talk as I rushed inside my house. And after that, I haven’t seen his face. My best friend’s super handsome face. The
He wasn’t at our usual table in the cafeteria. In fact, he wasn’t even in the cafeteria. And no one knew where he was. It was like he just disappeared. I didn’t know if I was relieved or worried or angry. I don’t think I wanted to know where he was but at the same time, I wanted to find him and make him talk to me. “So, what happened? Where is your hoodie from this morning?” Liam asked me when I sat down with my tray. “Damien made me take it off.” I pouted. “Thank god! I was starting to sweat only by looking at it!” Liam exaggerated. I squinted my eyes as I stuck my tongue out at him. Honestly speaking, it was very uncomfortable to wear an oversized hoodie on a hot summer day but I needed something to hide my face if I ever ran into Xander in the hallway.“What is happening though? First, Xander roams around the whole school, searching for you and now you are asking about his whereabouts. Did something happen?” Kara spoke up. Damien snickered beside me and I shot h
“He asked the whole class to skip and then he put glue, glitter and confetti everywhere in the class saying that the dull class needed it. He even insulted his teacher. How can I forgive him?” Principal Hughes asked me. The issue wasn’t really that big but Mrs Krampe was making it bigger. Xander had asked, which according to me must have been more like threatening, everyone to skip Chemistry and then he had put glue all over the teacher’s table and chair and then put glitter and confetti on it. When Mrs Krampe came into the class and caught him standing there alone, he had called her a grumpy old teacher who needs a little glitter in her life.Mrs Krampe decided to expand it and told the principal how he always insults her and how he had threatened her to leave the school.“The class actually could use a little glitter, to be honest.” Liam mumbled to me. I sighed. “Principal Hughes, I know that whatever he did was out of hand but to be fair, the others are also to bla
